Where to get rid of XBOX games and get a mod chip

Any good places that will give me a decent amount of cash for my XBOX games ie. Halo 2 and SSX3?

Also, where is a good place to get a modchip for my XBOX. A reliable place that isn't too far from me (heartland mississauga) is prefered.

I don't think you'll get decent money for the used games? On eBay those go for like $15 since there are so many of them.

No idea about the mod chip thing.

Blockbuster will offer you at least $8 store credit for a game.

Gimme titles and I'll get you estimates.

Halo 2 and SSX3 are probably $30+ credit

I need cash, not credit.

I need money for a concert on friday, Freedom on sunday, seeing a movie on saturday and modding my xbox.

I need to sell something other than my body for money.

Been on there for a year or two now. I found out that there's a PSX emulator for XBOX and that sealed the deal for me.

yeah i got a hold of it, but i havent got it to work yet. still trying.

The most annoying thing about having a modded xbox, is all the different versions of all the software.

There could be so many conflicting issues.

But thankfully, programmers seem to be quick and offer lots of bug fixes

Yeah I know I'm going to be confused as hell for the first little bit. I'm going to do my reading though so I don't screw anything up.

Either ebay or Microplay give the best cash trade in values. I'd probably lean towards ebay though. I too am modding my xbox soon.... just need to find a decent place to do it

get the smartxx xbox mod chip and buy the soderless adapter they provide. Depending on the version of your xbox, its a breeze to install, took me less than 20 minutes and I did not have to solder a single thing.

Another neat thing about the smartxx chip is that it has 2 megs of on board ram so that you can store different bioses, and even keep the original if you wanted to boot using it for certain live features....

If you have any questions, PM me, we can chat over MSN.............
